CS2 in vista =3D filter missing, activating CS2 affects monitor display

I have photoshop CS2 in Windows Vista Home Premium. At first it was working fine. Then I noticed that the 3D filter is absent. Still the rest of the program was working fine. Now when I go to open the CS2, it takes about 3 to 5 minutes to open, and when it finally does open, it causes everything (both photoshop and non-photoshop items) that is displayed on the monitor screen to be 'fuzzy', and the CS2 screen does not fit the monitor screen properly. Also, the 'Save-As' fly-out seems to have reverted to a primitive version. For example, there is no 'Save as JPEG' option pesent. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but there was no difference. My torment continues, no doubt I have lost a few strands of hair
...does anyone have any suggestions for fixes to these problems?

"Trash the prefs" – translation for non PS geeks:
Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Help missing for PS CS2 on Vista

I installed both Premiere Pro 2.0 and Photoshop CS2 on Vista. The Help files are available for Premiere Pro 2.0 but not available for Photoshop CS2. Tried all steps outlined in Adobe TechNote 319210 for cases when Help Center content is missing. However, none of these steps solved the problem. Help for Photoshop CS2 is still not listed in Help Center.
Thanks for any tips or directions on getting Help to work for Photoshop CS2 running on Vista.

Thanks for the replies. Tried the following, as suggested, but no success.
1) Looked in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Help\en_US\ but no Photoshop or Premiere folder. There was an Adobe Reader folder with the Help.html however.
2) Went to FAQs and followed steps provided in post there. Cleared the Help Preferences, then deleted the Cache, Database, Preferences, and Search folders under ...\AdobeHelpData\. Left the Packages folder with the Photoshop_9.0_en-us.zip and PremierePro_2.0_en-us.zip files, then double clicked the ahc.exe file. Help Center appeared but no indication that rebuilding was taking place, and the Help Center content was empty (not even Premiere Pro). I looked at the directory structure under ...\AdobeHelpData\ and Help Center did rebuild the folders previously deleted.
Restored folders under ..\AdobeHelpData\ to original status and executed Help Center again. As expected, Premiere Pro appeared in the content but not Photoshop CS2.
The product version of Help Center I am using on Vista is 2.1.212002.0.
Tried to reinstall Help Center (using download from Adobe), but installation was aborted. The error mesg only said that a problem occurred, but gave no details.
I do not think this is a Vista problem since Help Center works fine with Premiere Pro 2.0. However, not sure.
Is there anything else I can try?

Photoshop CS2 und Vista

Arbeiten mit Photoshop CS2 unter Windows Vista.

Hi,
bei mir funktionierte Photoshop CS2 einwandfrei unter Vista, bis heute. Vista installierte einige Sicherheitsupdates und danach wollte ich Photoshop starten. Auf einmal sagt mir das Programm, dass es eine Aktivierung benötigen würde und dass eine Aktivierung über das Netz ausgeschlossen sei.
Ich musste also telefonisch aktivieren. Nachdem die Nummer weder einen Anruf von One, A1 noch Bob akzeptierte, musste ich vom festnetz anrufen. Glücklicherweise fand ich noch einen Haushalt, in dem es Festnetz gibt.
Nachdem der Computer meine Eingabe des Keys nicht packte wurde ich zu einem Mitarbeiter weiterverbunden, bei dem ich erstmal meinen Unmut verkündete. Dieser schien jedoch eigentlich nur überrascht, dass Photoshop CS2 unter Vista überhaupt funktioniert. Nach der Eingabe des erhaltenen Aktivierungsschlüssel funktioniert mein Photoshop jedenfalls wieder, vielleicht aber nur, bis zum nächsten Vista-Update.
Die Empfehlung von Adobe dazu: Ich solle doch einfach mein Produkt mindestens auf CS3 updaten, damit es keine Probleme mit Vista gäbe...
Servus, Michael

DEP error on CS2 in Vista

I've done some googling and troubleshooting but can't seem to find a fix for this. We've recently "upgraded" to Vista at work. We run Photoshop CS2 (with unfortunately no plans of upgrading in the very near future). Installation of CS2 appeared to be fine, but didn't seem to activate properly. I closed it out, made sure the old copy of CS2 was deactivated on our previous computer. When I reopened CS2 on Vista (64 bit), it asks me to register. Whatever I do with the registration fields doesn't seem to matter, photoshop immediately shuts down with the following Date Execution Prevention error:

I've gone into the DEP settings and manually set it to ignore photoshop and run it without DEP oversight, but it's made no difference.
I thought I'd read that CS2 generally ran fine in Vista (32bit or 64bit), but obviously it's not working here. Any thoughts?

With Vista you have to run the .exe file as Admin.
Also insure that in msconfig, that in the start up tab, Adobe CS2 Service Manager is checked. (least in CS4 it is called that so it should be the same or close to it.
Also if you google PS CS2 and Vista you will see that on a lot of systems there are issues running it.
Edit: also when you do get it up and running to update CS2 and also if you have video card driver problems to update those too.

Reinstalling CS2 in Vista SP1

I have recently used CS2 in vista with no problems. After installing SP1, CS2 will not continue until I log in with proper credential, I'm the admin? Anyone else having these problems?

Try right clicking the Illustrator icon on the desktop then select run as adminisrator.

My desktop fried in a power surge--- I bought a new one---I cannot register my CS2 even though I have the activation code

Awesome! You're welcome!
Well, I'm not exactly sure. I suppose they may know if you have or have not purchased it since you are probably signed in...Or they figure it's an old enough program, and few enough people know about the serial number, that they don't care too much.

Help CS2 and Vista

Hi,
I’ve been running CS2 on Vista for about 4 years on my laptop with no problems. Last weekend I got a Malware virus that had to be removed by McAfee. They made some changes to the Vista OS and also installed Service Pack 2 for Vista. Now CS2 won’t load- it asks me for an authorization code and asked that I activate by phone. The Adobe rep directed me to a support page on the Adobe website and to remove the .DAT files in the program licenses file. I tried this – no go. Also tried to run as administrator- no go.
When I looked thru my hard drive folders, I saw that I have adobe program licenses folders in TWO PLACES
C:\ProgramData\Adobe Systems\Product licenses
And
C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\C\ProgramData\Adobe Systems\Product licenses
I’m guessing here, but It seems like McAfee uninstalled CS2 and then reinstalled it and tried to protect my license in a quarantined folder. In any case, the files in each of the License folders are different. Should I try to move my “quarantined” files to their original folder? Would this be safe? Would this work?
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions here? I didn’t get much help from Adobe on this. They said that CS2 is too old to give phone tech support. ( even though I bought Photoshop CS5 extended and Lightroom to run on my home computer 2 months ago)
I really would like to get this back because without reinstalling from disc. I have customized many CS2 programs, brushes, actions, printer settings etc, that would be lost if I reinstall and from other forums, It seems that a lot of people are having problems installing from disc to Vista.
Help!!!

My suggestion is to forget about CS2 and Vista and give serious thought to upgrading...NOW! CS2 is totally unsupported under Vista is the earliest version eligible for upgrade pricing. Why now? Because CS5.5 has already been announced and in the mean time you can get the CS2 to CS5 Design Premium upgrade for $768: http://amzn.to/ekY9fa. That will make you eligible for a free upgrade to CS5.5 when it ships in the next few weeks. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/153/tn_15304.html
The CS2 to CS5.5 upgrade will cost about $200 more. By buying CS5 now you'll save that $200 and get a free upgrade as well as having a supported combination of software and operating system. You'll also keep yourself eligible for upgrade pricing for the foreseeable future.

CS2 is completely unsupported under Vista and 64 bits adds more problems.
Best advice is to upgrade. CS5 will be shipping soon.

Is there a way of creating a filter by Activity ID if all the data is in Excel?

Hello, I am a new user of P6 and I am trying to find a quick way of creating a filter by activity ID. I have a list of activity IDs that I need in an excel file but I am trying to see if there is a quicker way than typing up each ID in the filter. I am not able to block copy and paste from excel when using filters. Is it possible to import from excel to P6? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Hold down the option key when you click the + button on the criteria. You can then set up Or conditions (Any).

Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo - corrupt project?

Hi,
I am getting this error when I open my project. In addition, no media will play in the project either in the sequence window or the source window.
It all appears and will scrub (with no audio), but will not play.
I dug around a bit and I found that there is a known bug with audio from XML's and that is what I am using (convinced my client to migrate from FCP to Premiere - please don't tell me I made a mistake).
Everything worked brilliantly for a week, including the addition of audio filters, and then all of a sudden - bang. No more.
I have painstakingly deleted every audio filter and I am still getting this error. I have also tried a re-install.
Another oddity is that when I try to quit Premiere, it will not quit all the way without a force quit!
I'm running CC 2014 on a brand new mac pro.
Desperate,
dw

Steve and Bill,
I follow your advice, but it did not solve the problem. It is true that problems began when I used ZOOM recorder at 98kHz/24 bit in my current project (I already changed ZOOM mode to 48kHz/16 bit), but could this be just a coincidence?
In the meantime I checked the rest of my 16 projects (.prel), which were fine before. To my surprise I found that although all of them were made using EXACTLY the same method, some of them are still OK, but most I can not Playback. The messages appearing are of three types:
1. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Balance".
2. "Audio Filter missing: Internal Volume Stereo".
3. "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed".
In one case, when I opened a project the first time, the message was "This type of file is not supported or required codec is not installed", but when I opened it second time it said " Audio Filter missing:Internal Volume Stereo". It seems to be random.
Some projects can be opened, but when I try to Playback there is no sound.
I am completly lost. Please help.

Video Filter missing: AE.keylight 906?

Hi,
I am a complete noob when it comes to editing video in Adobe. I've been looking for a solution to my problem in other places, but my attempts were futile.
Here's what I did:
I edited a video clip in Adobe After Effects, dealt with the green screen using Keylight, then exported my work as an Adobe Premiere Pro Project. Once that was done, I tried opening the project in Premiere and a window popped up saying "Video Filter missing: AE.keylight 906." I clicked OK and found that Premiere does not show my edited green screen. It merely shows the original - I think I'm right in saying that is because the video filter is missing, as the message stated. How do I fix this? Help please!
Thank you for your time.

My guess for the choppiness would be that you used the default uncompressed render settings from After Effects; this likely made a very large file that, unless you have a really stout and fast hard drive setup (e.g. RAID), you will not get real time playback. Uncompressed is good in that, well, it's uncompressed and therefore doesn't add any further image degradation, but it can make for a lousy editing experience, as you've found.
Depending on what your source footage is (you didn't mention this originally), and what your intended destination/delivery format is, you might be able to use different render/export settings from After Effects for a more playable file in Premiere. Later, you could rerender the composition to the uncompressed version and replace the original; this will give you better performance for further editing in Premiere, and then later will give you higher quality output. This is often referred to as proxy editing, and there are a couple of ways you can go about this, if it's something you want to attempt.
Regarding the loss of edits when moving from Premiere: there shouldn't be any loss of edit points, necessarily, but what you might be thinking of is the loss of transitions. Since Premiere Pro works with tracks and After Effects works with layers, the two programs have different methods of representing and creating transitions (e.g. dissolves). In Premiere, you can put two clips next to each other in the sequence on a single track, and add a dissolve between them; however, in After Effects, a layer can only contain one footage item, so to create a transition between two layers, they must overlap. There are analogs for certain transitions--a dissolve, for example, is just a change in opacity of one layer that is over another--but other more "fancy" transitions must be recreated more manually. In short, you shouldn't have to worry about the timing of your edit in Premiere changing when moving to After Effects, whether you use Dynamic Link or whether you simply copy and paste from Premiere into AE.
Hope that helps a bit more. And Mr. Brougham is my dad's name
